Bolivian Albahaca Sauce

Person talking
"Albahaca" is basil. In Bolivia this sauce is not really used on salads, but rather on hot dogs, meat patties, even bread. You could use low-fat yoghurt, but a creamy one such a Greek yoghurt is better. It is quite tart, and it can be adapted to your taste by adding a sweetener such as honey.
